to the Evil or to the Good. Yet none must presume upon this [Impotency of the Devil, and four Elements,] for if the Parents be wicked, God can well forsake a wicked Seed. For he willeth not that the Pearl should be cast before Swine; although he is very inclined to help all Men, yet it is [effectual] but for those that turn to him; and although the Child is in Innocence, yet the Seed is not in Innocence; and therefore it has Need of the Treader upon the Serpent [or Saviour.] Therefore, ye Parents, consider what ye do; especially you Knaves and Whores; you have a hard Lesson [to learn] here, consider it well, it is no jesting Matter, it shall be shown you m in its Place, that the Heaven thunders, [and passes away with a Noise.] Truly the Time of the Rose brings it forth, and it is high Time to awake, for the Sleep is at an End, there shall a great n Rent be before the Lily; therefore let every one take Heed to his Ways. 27. If we now search into the Life of Man in the Mother’s [Womb or] Body, concerning his Virtue [or Power,] Speech, and o Senses, and the noble and most precious Mind; then we find the Cause why we have made such a long p Register concerning the eternal Birth; for the Speech, Senses, and Mind, have also such an Origin as is abovementioned concerning the eternal Birth of God, and it is a very precious Gate [or Explanation.] 28. For behold, when the Gate of this World in the Child is made ready, so that the Child is [become] a living Soul out of the Essences, and now [henceforth] sees only [by or] in the Light of the Sun, and not in the Light of God, then comes the true q Artificer, instantly in the Twinkling of an Eye, when the Light of the Life kindles, and figures [that which is] his; for the Center breaks forth in all the three Principles. First, there are the four Essences in the Fiat in the stern Might of God, which there are the Child’s own, the Worm of its Soul, which stands there in the House of the great Anxiety, as in the Originality. For the Seed is sown in the Will, and the Will receives the Fiat in the Tincture, and the Fiat draws the Will to it inwardly, l Or give himself into the Imagination. m In the Book of Election and Predestination. n Cleaving asunder, Shaking and Alteration, as by an Earthquake. o Or Thoughts. p Catalogue, or Relation. q The Master, the Fiat. and outwardly [draws] the Seed to a r Mass; for the inward and outward s Artificer is there. 29. When the Will thus draws to it, then it becomes inwardly and outwardly impregnated, and is darkened; the Will cannot endure this, viz. to be set in the Dark, and therefore falls into great Anxiety for the Light; for the outward Materia [or Matter] is filled with the Elements, and the Blood is choaked
[checked or stopped;] and there then the Tincture withdraws, and there is then the right Abyss of Death, and so the inward [Materia or Matter] is filled from the Essences of the Virtue, [or Power,] and in the inward there rises up another Will, out of the stern Virtue of the Essences, [that it might] lift itself up into the Light of the Meekness; and in the outward stands the Desire to be severed, the Impure from the Pure, for that the outward Fiat does. 30. We must consider in the Virtue [or Power] of the Virgin, that the Will first is threefold, and each in its Center is fixed [stedfast or perfect] and pure, for it proceeds out of the Tincture. In the first Center there springs up between the Parents of the Child the Inclination [or Lust,] and the bestial Desire to copulate; this is the outward elementary Center, and it is fixed in itself. Secondly, there springs up, in the second Center, the inclinable Love to the Copulation; and although they were at the first Sight angry and odious one to another, yet in the Copulating the Center of Love springs up, and that only in the Copulating; for the one pure Tincture receives [or catches] the other, and in the Copulating the t Mass receives them both. 31. Now thus the Love qualifies [or mixes] with the inward [one] Element, and the Element with the Paradise, and the Paradise is before [or in the Presence of] God. And the outward Seed has its Essences, which qualify first with the outward Elements, and the outward Elements qualify with the outward Stars, and the outward Stars qualify with the outward Sternness, [Grimness, Fierceness, Frowardness,] Wrath and Malice, and the Wrath and Malice in the Fierceness, [Severity, or Austereness,] qualifies with the Original of the first Fierceness of the Abyss of Hell; and the Abyss qualifies with the Devils. 32. Therefore, O Man! consider what thou hast received with thy bestial Body, to eat and to drink of Evil and Good, which God did forbid. Look here into the Ground of the Essences, and r Concretion, Substance, or Body. s Or Master. t Massa, or Concretion. say not with Reason; It was merely for Disobedience, which God was so very angry at, that his Anger could not be quenched. Thou art deceived, for if the clear Deity was angry, it would not have become Man for thy Sake to help thee; look but upon the u Mark in the Eternity, and then thou will find all. 33. Thus also the Kingdom of Darkness and of the Devil is sown together in the Copulating, and the third Center of the x great Desire springs up along with it, out of which the Fierceness, [Grimness, or Wrath,] and the House of Flesh is generated.
